Statement Of Purpose: The Davidson July Experience

Decent Essays
I would like to attend the Davidson July Experience for three reasons. First, the resemblance to college life will prepare me for college by offering activities, and adventures that high school does not provide. College requires a lot of independence, and this program also requires independence in order to be successful, so it is a perfect learning experience for me.
Second, I find the courses very interesting, such as the Hitler and Nazi course, and the Family and justice course. I have been interested in World War two, Hitler, and concentration camps ever since I read the book Night, by Elie Wiesel. Night inspired me because it reveals all the horrors and tragedies of the Holocaust. When you read about the furnaces and the Gas chambers

    Evan Olson Period: 6 Mr. Lone/ Mr.Paulin Book Report: Inside the Vicious Heart One quote I found that really grabbed my attention was, “It was though we had penetrated at last to the center of the black, to the very crawling inside of the vicious heart. I had found this interesting because it really sums up the entire book in a few lines. It shows how the American’s felt toward the Nazi’s and the horrible acts they did. It also explains how the Nazi’s were viewed as “heartless” or that they truly had “vicious hearts”.…

    We have been learning about the Holocaust and World War 2 for many years as part of our social studies curriculum. Most of us probably, and I hope, know that this was a bad thing for Hitler to do and be a part of. You always feel more empathy and sadness when you actually read documentaries about people that have experienced this terrible time. The story Night by Elie Wiesel shares her personal experiences of being kicked out of her hometown and being transported to the camps, what happened at the camps and the impact it had on her, and how there was so much death going on and barely anybody survived. Hungary a place where Jews are happily living their lives until the German armies take it all over.…

    Night Wiesel Analysis

    • 4 Pages

    Eliezer Wiesel is the author of the memoir “Night”, a book describing the Holocaust from the perspective of fifteen year old Wiesel. The story begins in Sighet, Transylvania as Wiesel is forced from his homeland by the Nazis to Auschwitz and later transferred to Buchwald. Here Wiesel, still an innocent, impressionable young man, undergoes a horrific journey in which his only goal is to survive. His experiences of hopelessness, inhumanity, human suffering, and death in the concentration camps caused Wiesel to go through a transformation. This transformation is best seen in the last paragraph of the book: “One day I was able to get up, after gathering all my strength, I wanted to see myself in the mirror hanging on the opposite wall.…

    11 million Jews, Romanians, mentally ill, disabled, and homosexuals were brutally murdered in the Holocaust during WW2. People definitely already know about the Holocaust, but it truly is hard to understand the severity of this massacre. The amount of hate and intolerance Adolf Hitler had was extremely unnecessary and the ways he took it out on people who really didn’t deserve it was brutal. This led to even people of his own country returning that hatred. Throughout the resources available, it is possible to learn about the Holocaust through fiction, nonfiction, children’s books, and films.…

    Bearing Witness Bearing witness, these words read across the top of the entrance of the Holocaust Museum in Houston, Texas. These two words are some of the most powerful, meaningful words many of us will ever hear. This is because if we as witnesses do not remember and continue to reflect on the horrors of the Holocaust, who is to say something similar will not happen again. However, if we stand up and make the voices of those who suffered in the Holocaust or lost their loved ones due to Hitler, then we can insure that a man made tragedy such as the Holocaust never happens again.…
